I watched the Twins play at Baltimore in 1987 or so when it was 106 in town and 130 on the field. I filled my cap with water and dumped it over my head.
As Twins coast, a general baseball question. What is elite baseball speed? In the NFL. the fastest run about a 4.25 40 (Randy Moss). What would the fastest baseball players run?
It's puzzling to me. If the balls at 104.8 mph when leaves hand, then his hand must be moving at 104.8 mph, which doesn't seem possible. On the other hand, how could the ball accelerate after leaving the hand with no further force applied?
